“Aaron has deep, scale ecommerce experience and is a true
champion of our mission to become the daily habit in local,” said
CEO Rich Williams. “Aaron understands the enormous opportunity that
we have in front us and has both the operational and strategic
strengths to help expand our marketplace for merchants and
customers.”
Cooper first joined Groupon in 2010, serving as chief marketing
officer, head of North America Travel and head of North America
Goods before assuming his current role in December 2015. In his new
role, he will continue to play a leadership role in shaping the
company’s ongoing card-linked offers and beauty-booking voucherless
initiatives designed to create a more convenient and easy
experience for both customers and merchants and improve
frequency.
“Bringing our three North American businesses under the same
roof will enable us to take a more holistic view of our business
and maximize resources on behalf of our customers and merchants,”
said Cooper. “We’ll continue to take all of the ways Groupon makes
life less boring and present them to our customers in a way that
excites them and keeps them coming back over and over again.”
Prior to joining Groupon, Cooper held a variety of marketing and
leadership positions at Orbitz and optionsXpress after consulting
roles at AEG Partners, AOL and Price Waterhouse Management
